For Lee - Solve OS X and XP clock problem
The problem with the Windows clock being off is because the hardware clock (the one on your actual motherboard) is being set to “Universal” time, or GMT, when you shut down your MacOS bootup. When you boot Windows, Windows assumes your clock is set to your local timezone because that’s what Windows does by default. This explains why the people who set their MacOS clock to GMT got...

Plugs
nostrich: Help me out here, guys. What’s the cheapest way to make all the plugs for my shitty British electronics work in your funny American holes? I’ve got two adapters already, but they’re big, chunky things, and cost $10 each; I figure I’d need at least 6 to be able to power all my stuff, which would cost another $40. Is there a cheaper and better way to do this? I don’t like having...
